Got a call from the dealer today saying the Insurance company has given them the go ahead to repair my bike
It's just a question now of how long it takes for the parts to come ?? Hopefully not too long !

Yamaha are usually 48 hrs delivery mate if it's ordered before 3pm

Obviously that's if it's ordered by a Yamaha dealership and not a normal bike dealer...

Cheers mate that sounds encouraging
Yes it is a main dealer, but I was wondering with the Tracer being a new model whether they would be up to speed yet on stocks ?

Got a call from the dealers today and my bike is all done and I'm picking it up tomorrow. Can't wait
There was a slight delay waiting for the new tank to come in but all done and dusted within a month, including the recall. Also my rack came in so that's done too. Still waiting for the panniers though !
Thanks to Crescent Yamaha in Bournemouth for getting it sorted as soon as possible

I'm gutted for you. I know I'd have been so angry.
Something I never wanna search on YouTube but when I ordered my Tracer my mate pointed me to 'MT09 Tracer Accident'. He gets taken out on a round about having just picked up the bike from new! But doesn't sound as bad as you.
Wish you back on two wheels soon

Glad you got your bike back quick and you survived to ride another day.
My dealer called me today to make sure I knew my bike was booked in on Sat for the recall. I asked while on the phone when my free pannier set would be here (been waiting 4 weeks on Sat)
"Let me have a look.....the good news is they have been ordered........delivery date is........ 1st June"
At least I know and they'll be here before I go to Europe in September!
Also ordered a Givi rack, plate, top box and back rest last Friday. received an email on Monday stating the rack is out of stock and will not be in until end of the month......hopefully.
The words accessories and rocking horse shit spring to mind.

Thanks mate it will be good to get back on it.
I was told end of March for the rack and that just came in, so not bad. As for the panniers I was quoted mid April and no sign yet. They had better be here for June as my trip to the Alps is mid June !!
I think it's pretty poor when you are sold a bike as a 'sports tourer' and order panniers and rack with it for the obvious reason of touring, then have to wait weeks or months to get them !
It's a bit like ordering a new three piece suite only to be told the cushions won't be available for another six weeks !!!
Yamaha should have the accessories stock ready to go when they start taking orders for their bikes
